Why Does A New Roof Cost So Much?

If you're wondering about the cost to replace a roof, you're not alone. It's one of the first questions homeowners ask, and for good reason. Roofs are a big investment, but they're also one of the most important parts of your home.

The final cost depends on a few things. First is the size of your home. Roofing is measured in “squares,” and the bigger the roof, the more materials and labor it takes. Materials also matter. Asphalt shingles are more affordable, while metal and tile cost more but last longer.

Another factor is the condition of your current roof. If there's old or damaged material that needs to be torn off, it will cost more. If your roof decking has rotted or weakened over time, that will also add to the bill.

But here's the good news: a solid roof protects everything underneath it. It keeps out water, holds in heat, and adds curb appeal. It’s an investment that saves money over time. The key is hiring the right team to do it right the first time.
